70 g		ricotta cheese
130 g		fresh strawberries, finely puréed
15 g		skimmed milk powder
1 tsp	5 ml	lemon zest
1/2 tsp	2.5 ml	vanilla bean paste

In a small saucepan, whisk the egg yolks and caster sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
Add the whole milk and ricotta, whisking until smooth and evenly combined.
Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly with a spatula, until the mixture thickens slightly and reaches 74–79°C, forming a light custard.
Take the pan off the heat and allow the custard to cool briefly.
Whisk in the strawberry purée, skimmed milk powder, lemon zest and vanilla bean paste until smooth. Strain through a fine sieve into the Ninja CREAMi tub, place the lid on and freeze for 24 hours.
Remove the frozen tub and install it in the Ninja CREAMi. Select GELATO programme.
Enjoy immediately for a soft, fruity strawberry gelato, or place the tub back in the freezer briefly to firm up.
